My heater postions take forever to switch over

Anyone else find this? I never had this on my old Elite. Basically when you switch the heater position from - say - blowing on the windscreen to blowing in your face through the vents, it takes a good 15 seconds to actually transfer once you've turned the knob. I'm sure my old Elite was instant.

It's not really a problem. Just annoying me a bit

My 54 (05) Pre-facelift 1.8 Life is the same as yours. Particularly going from full windscreen blower to face. I think it maybe an age thing, as I don't remember my Bro-in-laws 52 plate 1.8 LS taking a long time to switch blower modes.

Definitely Not.I reckon in my limited knowledge of these things that it's someting to do with the switchover from 1/2 Canbus to full canbus or something like that, thus older cars could be different and maybe more manual in heater control. But I could be talking 8ull5h1t. Let's wait and see because knowing our forum, someone on here knows and in the words of the Xfiles, The truth is out there...................

i think you'll find it has more to do with the directional flaps binding than anything else..

See just like the earlier thread with the Auto-Dimming mirror not being connected on the Members ex-cop Vectra; It ain't rocket science. Not computers, not canbus, not electronics, just binding directional flaps.

As Mattys is an 08 and mines a 54, Do you reckon there is any easy fix Mark??
